Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

I'm not against basic advertising, it fulfills a very useful role, letting you know a product exists, with what functionality and pricing and so on. Of course that's a minority of advertising these days

Marketers actually place these into different categories of advertising goal. One kind might just exist to make people aware of a product and its role (eg, vacuum cleaner attachment) whereas others spend longer convincing customers it's something they want/need. There's yet another category that I think relates more to direct advertising and isn't as common for mass products like games.
